It’s not incompetence that defines the actions of the far right, It’s malice & intent to harm.
Calling the far right incompetent provides an excuse for their actions that masks the true intent.
The Radical far right are very competent at committing harm. And that IS the goal.

Stop allowing politicians who make horrendous decisions escape responsibility. These decisions are intended to harm. Cruelty is the point.
Medical experts have informed leaders what the realities are. Some leaders choose to ignore the advice & expertise.

It’s always about money, profit, saving tax dollars, creating prosperity. And it is ONLY conservative and right wing leaders making this choice to relax lockdowns too soon.
But it’s not ALL right wing leaders. It’s just some.

What is the common factor?
Paleolibertarianism.
It’s disdain for low income and the working class. Delusions of superiority over cultural groups, low income earners and pandering to business owners.

Paleolibertarians believe wealth & status defines human worth. They have no difficulty putting those who don’t rank in the upper echelons of wealth, status and power at risk. Because they consider those lives meritless. This is considered the “Natural Order” divinely ordained.
Remember Kenney making reference to “moderate” human capital during the Alberta provincial election campaign period.
That’s what he was making reference to when he referred to modest human capital. People who rank low in value to business owners looking to profit.

He clearly defined these people as those who had little education or experience.
Teenagers, unskilled labourers, the disabled.
That was the UCP rationale for reducing minimum wage for teens. It still is the rationale for ignoring worker safety & relaxing COVid-19 protocols.

Kenney didn’t graduate post secondary education. So it isn’t education that’s the determining factor. Modest human capital is coded language for unskilled labour. People who perform menial labour to earn wages. People without power, status or wealth.
“When people tell you who they are, believe them, the first time.” Maya Angelou said that. Prescient and invaluable advice.
It’s not incompetence that defines Kenney and UCP policies. It’s malice and contempt for everyone that doesn’t donate large sums to keep them in power.

Many of the lives Kenney & UCP seem ever so willing to risk sacrificing are some of the party’s most ardent supporters.
The election is over. UCP no longer requires their vote. They are now (and always have been) disposable.

By labeling politicians who make decisions and edicts that unnecessarily put lives at risk as incompetent, you are giving the malevolent a free pass.
The people at Cargill & JBS meat plants deserve better than to write off their sacrifice to incompetent leadership.

Every human life is invaluable. Every person has family, friends and makes a contribution to society as a whole as a friend, parent, sibling.
Where do paleolibertarians get off deciding whose life is more valuable?
Why do citizens continue to give them that power?

The people most at risk of being sacrificed by this pandemic are the most vulnerable, not the least valuable, members of our society.
Essential workers
Elderly
Health Compromised

What does it imply who we are as a society to be willing to sacrifice those individuals so wealthy, high status can remain powerful?
What does it say about our worth by allowing politicians to intentionally put those people at higher risk?

We are suffering isolation. But what price are we willing to force others to pay for resuming some normalcy and social interaction?
Is that price too high? I presume the families & friends of those who are being sacrificed might believe so.

Are we protecting ourselves from responsibility by labeling these politician’s decisions as incompetence and using that deluded belief to avoid the personal responsibility and duty of each citizen to hold their elected leaders accountable?
We are not powerless. We have a voice.
People’s lives are at risk. Death or lifelong impairment is the sacrifice we are allowing our government to risk every essential worker, senior & health compromised member of our society.

It doesn’t matter that not everyone will die or suffer lifelong health impairments.
Whether it’s one life, a hundred lives, or 10,000 lives, the expectation anyone should be sacrificed at all is reprehensible. Immoral. Unethical. Malevolent.

The duty of the elected government is to protect ALL lives, not just who political ideologues deem worthy.
We have not given political leaders the right to decide if our lives are worthy of protection. We’ve given them the responsibility to protect ALL lives.

The far right has assumed the power of life and death in multiple jurisdictions. It’s up to citizens to remind them they do NOT hold that power.
If politicians are unwilling to fulfill their obligations to every citizen, especially the most vulnerable, we need to remove them.

That’s our right as citizens. When a government assumes the power to decide life and death of those they deem unworthy, they’ve gone too far. They’ve become the threat, and abdicated any authority representative governance provides.
Speak out. Demand ALL citizens be protected!
Everyone is at risk. All citizens are being deluded into believing it’s safe to lift restrictions. Essential workers are being forced to put their lives in peril to keep the oligarchy in profits.

Of course there will be those that refuse to acknowledge the facts. But if you are aware the relaxing of COVid-19 protocols is too soon, then you are just as culpable as your political leader making that decision if you say nothing or chalk it up to incompetence.
